  • Lab 1 - Building a GUI:
    • For this lab you are asked to build a new GUI for the macro you wrote at the end of the "Macros - Part 2 (Graphics)" module (see Lab 3).
    • You basically have full freedom as to how your GUI will look (within reason). All we want to see is that you have all of the same widgets/controls and displays.
    • Have fun!
Don't Make This Mistake:
If you try to build your new GUI and you get many errors, you have probably forgotten to include the swing-layout.jar file.
